3year old won't eat after choking

I have a March 2011 baby and a August 2009. I'm posting this here as well as on my three year olds board because I need some help and the 2009 board is a ghost town! It's about my three year old though. Thanks-

My daughter choked just a little on her lunch last Monday and hasn't eaten anything since. Not a single bite. She will take little sips of juice now and then but nothing else. I've tried smoothies and milkshakes but there's no way. We've been to the dr and had X-rays to rule out that she inhaled anything or has any blockage. At this point it seems to be a mental issue like a post trematic episode. Her dr wants us to give it the weekend to see if it corrects itself and if not they'll have to intervene medically. I've tried being very calm and loving, I've tried to ignore it and just leave her favorite foods around the house where she can reach them, I've ( regrettably) lost my temper. Nothing is helping and I'm watching my beautiful, amazing three year old slowly starve herself. It's been almost six days. I have to leave the room constantly because I can stop myself from crying. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm a sahm ( not that I know if that makes a difference, but just as info). I need advice or support or something. Please! For the first few days the advice I got was make eating fun. We're past that idea now. It's not about her not being entertained by food. It's that she's genuinly scared of it and I just don't know what to do.

I have seen a doctor and at this point it's a psychiatric issue which is just heartbreaking. She won't take anything but juice and sometimes not even that. I've tried smoothies, pudding, ice cream, pop cycles blended soups she normally loves. She just won't eat anything whether is requires chewing or not. Thanks for your advice and help.

I dont know if they have one - but Sesame street has a ton of videos on you tube "Elmo chokes on food" (so to speak) and see if she will watch it..... im on my phone now otherwise inwould look... but my DD (oldest) has a lot of anxiety about sleeping .... and her dads deployments and i always use those videos to help ..... then choking is scary ! have you just flat out asked her? maybe have somebody watch marchie and just take her somewhere special - ice cream place and see if she will ease her anxiety about it. I know not te exact same but i try more take out my 3 yr old when she is overly anxious- i feel at the time it doesn't help but then a day later she will say i loved going out w just mommy......
I know the feeling regrettably for being angry- but you want the best for her, but she doesnt understand that right now

I am so sorry! This sounds so hard. I just wanted to share that last year I choked at a restaurant and a man had to give me the heimlich. It was one of the scariest things that ever happened to me! I wouldn't eat or drink anything for like 12 hours. I know that is nothing compared to your LO not eating for almost a week, but I understand the feeling. Even now if I choke even a little on something bit I totally panic. I'm sorry, I guess I don't have any advice. I just feel for you and her :) Good luck!!

I would try her friends or some where there is a lot of kids. My lo will refuse to eat or try stuff all the time when we dinner with his little friend and see that's she eating than he will eat. I'm sorry and I be thinking of her and pray she starts to eat again.
